The one thing that many people overlook when they are planning a holiday cocktail party is making the foods they serve look festive to their guests.

So many times we overlook this part of the party ~ we are so busy focusing on the decorations and the drinks that we forget that the food itself is one of your biggest decorations!

Another interesting thing that is new on the market is alcoholic whipped cream! Seriously…they have now found a way to put alcohol ~ and 18% alcohol by the way ~ into whipped topping! While it’s not available everywhere…you can find more information at www.whippedlightning.com .

This has endless possibilities from shots to frozen drinks. And being 18% alcohol ~ it’s sure to liven up the party! Currently they sell 7 different flavors and each one looks yummy! Too bad they don’t sell this in our state yet.
